Great find in New Port Richey. Decided to go based on recommendations from a few friends. Located in downtown NPR, near the Suncoast Theater. Sat at the bar, because we like the vibe there better. Super impressed with the bartender. Not only made great martinis, she's a certified sommelier and had great recommendations for wine pairing with food. Started off with some raw oysters. Prepared properly (separated from the bottom shell). Fresh and tasty. Next was the appetizer special, seafood mix salad on crispy potato bars. Interesting and tasty. Finally, we had the grilled octopus. Seriously some of the best I had. Nice and tender and grilled just right. Service was outstanding and attentive. Atmosphere was lively, without being noisy. Met a nice couple that go there every week for date night. It will be in our regular rotation of places to go. read more

We were looking forward to our first experience at Estuary, but we left extremely disappointed. We had an issue with my wife's meal. However, our disappointment isn't so much with the meal. It's with how their manager, Anthony, handled the situation. Instead of showing empathy, apologizing, or making us feel like valued customers, Anthony spoke to my wife in a condescending, disrespectful, argumentative and unprofessional manner. No customer should ever be talked down to or belittled. A manager sets the tone for the entire restaurant. Anthony's behavior turned our evening into an unacceptable dining experience. Because of him, and him alone, we will never come back. I hope management take this review seriously. Food can always be corrected, but the way customers are treated is what determines whether they'll ever return. Unfortunately, because of how Anthony handled this situation, we will not be back, and we will not recommend Estuary to others. I sincerely hope no future customer has to experience the same treatment. read more

Estuary is in a great location in the middle of downtown NPR. It's more quiet that some of the more casual fun places. It is more low key, elegant for a quiet time. Although inside isn't the most quiet. I suggest making a reservation for a more smooth reception. Food was good. I absolutely loved my chicken. My husband liked my chicken better than his beef. Duck fries were nothing to fawn over. Barely tasted or saw the parmesean cheese. Overall, food was good, tender and is supposedly hand selected by check. I left full. Price tag is up there. There is a 4% service fee for credit cards which is a joke. Enjoy read more

We don't live in the area, visiting friends and 6 of us went, all 1st timers. They put us in the private room which was sooo perfect and thoughtful! Service by Kristen was exemplary! She was welcoming, helpful, fun & efficient. Food was outstanding. We shared apps: pork belly, hamachi crudo; dinner we had the cod which was really good maybe a bit more seasoning could have made it better; others had the wagyu steak which was perfectly cooked; bucatini was very yummy. Drinks were great, hats off to the mixologists. Dessert we had the deconstructed lemon meringue pie and apple cake, they were enjoyed neither my fav tho. Definitely would come back! I think it's a great value to cost and delicious! All six peep enjoyed! read more

Came in for a birthday celebration with my husband and Estuary absolutely blew us away. We started with the crab beignets, which were unreal and so good we could've ordered more. I had the short rib and it was truly melt in our mouth amazing, while my husband's Wagyu sirloin was just as incredible. We finished the night with the banana cream pie, and once again it was perfect. From start to finish everything was outstanding. This is easily one of the best restaurants I've ever been too, and our server April made the experience even better with her fantastic service. read more

Estuary -- downtown NPR Nice clean, minimalist decor. The room is lively--read: noisy. Fine for a fun night out, maybe not ideal for a first date where conversation matters. So, no substitutions. The menu says so, the server will remind you, and honestly? It's a chef driven menu. Interesting background, too: Chef/owner James Renew spent 28 years training with chefs across Florida, Las Vegas, and Sydney before opening Estuary. Apparently, they've been voted among the best restaurants in the Tampa area two consecutive years running. It shows. We started with the crab beignets -- crispy, golden, and paired with a jalapeño aioli that managed to be interesting without setting your face on fire. Nicely done, though I wouldn't have minded a little more kick. The steak frites were the star of the show. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly. The fries? Cooked in duck fat. DUCK FAT. Honestly, tasted like fries to me -- and a little underdone at that. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the place -- rightfully so. The Buffalo Trace Manhattan on the rocks was dangerously good. Drinks all around were solid. Total came to just over $100 for two before tip -- fair for this quality. Fair warning though -- they tack on a 3% credit card surcharge. Unnecessary and a little annoying at this price point. Nice higher end restaurant in the new downtown. Reasonable prices without being pretentious. We'll be back. read more

Is the food plated beautifully? Yes. Is it worth the price, lack of flexibility, and overall taste? Not really. The service was good, and the atmosphere makes it a nice local spot to meet up with friends. However, the inability to modify your meal/sides at all was frustrating. The food, flavor, and what tasted like literal microwaved mashed potatoes was disappointing to say the least and definitely did not justify the price point. Overall, it just wasn't worth it for us, but I can see how others might still enjoy it for the ambiance. read more

Estuary was is a quiet upscale evening away from the more lively area of downtown (by about 1/2 block). Food was decent, def pricey and hit or miss. Everyone was friendly. I def suggest making a reservation ahead of time. read more

We wanted something different but good. We found Estuary while walking around, and the menu sounded amazing! It's a modern but low key vibe, well setup and clean! My kind of place!! So we were absolutely game for this place!! We got immediately seated in Erin's area! she was kind, pleasant and extremely friendly! All a part of this experience. We tried some cocktails...Filthy Flamingo (OMG YUM) and Dirty Martini! We ordered the Baked Oysters ----delicious, small but the flavor was off the charts! We then ordered our salads and entrees. 1 Beet Salad and 1 Local fresh Salad (1/2 order) - perfect size in both cases, again the flavors were perfect together! The entrees truly were spectacular! perfection and highly recommended! we had the Waygu Sirloin and Red Fish! Don't change a thing...no need for anything. Truly the most delicious food we have had in ages! A gem in New Port Richey!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

A very cute place for dinner! We found street parking before coming in for a 6:15 reservation for dinner. We were promptly seated and our server was very attentive. I got a cocktail with pear vodka which was so light and tasty! We got a bunch of plates including the table bread with chicken butter which was phenomenal! The crab beignets had a lot of crab inside and you get 4 of them. The beet salad was so amazing and the steak tartare was surprisingly very good (my first time trying). The potato hash on the bottom is super crispy which balances the tartare nicely. I'd come back again! read more

Estuary has always satisfied my appetite, especially if I'm looking for a nicer upscale dinner out. The decor is elevated and tastefully done and the ambiance is always good. The service is professional and pleasant. I have been out for dinner here several times and have had a great experience each time. I have lived and dined in big cities and Estuary is the only spot in the area that makes me feel like I'm having a fancy city dinner. I always bring my out of town friends here because I know they will enjoy it. Side note, if you save room after dinner the espresso martini is one of the best I've had. I get it for dessert! read more

Stopped in this morning to try out Estuary for brunch and was very pleased with the experience!!! We were seated upon entering the restaurant. Our server, Jolene was extremely efficient and a pleasure to have helping us. She assisted in menu selections which helped with my decisions for entrees. Drinks were kept flowing the entire time which also was nice!! All the food was excellent with delectable flavors and beautiful presentation as well!! Definitely recommend this establishment and look forward to dining here again for dinner next time!! Keep up the great work!!! read more

I have been here 2 times now. I love the greens and dark woods. Food is unique and flavorful. Service is knowledgeable and prompt. Add this place to your list. It's worth the drive and New Port Richey is a cute little town. I recommend a stroll around the park after dinner. Enjoy the brunch pictures! PHENOMENAL read more

Everything was great went twice. I went as a guest and then a relative sent a gift card. But after seeing the prices I normally wouldn`t go to a place that high. Service was fine and the food good. $20 for a Hamburger and fries though was out of my league. I got the cheapest meal on the menu when I was taken there while most meals were $30 and UP. read more

I can't get past the 4% credit card fee. You charge $10 for bread...you need to make profit on credit card fees? Even AMEX is only 3%, just raise the price if need to read more

Sunday brunch is perfect! Espresso martini with steak and eggs. Service is always great.

I've been twice in the last month and both times were fantastic. My favorite is the Steak Frites. AMAZING!! Anyone who says the Duck Fat Fries aren't anything great probably think Burger King fries are the best! My friend got the Burger and she swore it was the best burger she has ever had. That is saying a lot bc she is very well traveled. Her only complaint was she would have liked to have the Duck Fat Fries. The drinks were fabulous! Everyone was sooo friendly. There are booths, tables or bar seating. Beautiful classy decor. I would HIGHLY recommend you experience this great restaurant!! read more

Went to brunch here with some friends today. Started off with a couple bloody Mary's and an espresso martini . All the drink were good. We also started off with biscuits and strawberry jam. I love these and will definitely try the gravy with them next time. We all tried something different for our entrees. I had the avocado toast. My friends ordered the pork belly Benedict and the hash. The hash was spicy from the sausage. Then we topped it all off with the doughnuts! And they were very yummy. The ambiance is very hip with a lot of green and natural light. The booths are clean and comfortable. The music was great! I had to ask where it was from because I was really into it. The server kept the drinks full and dishes cleaned off the table, which is very important to us. I can't wait to come back and try more things! Great job James! :) read more

The food was really good, although a little on the pricey side for what you get.

The staff was GREAT. However... the vibe was not vibing, it felt hollow. The smell of hot fish hits you right in the face as soon as you walk in. In addition, prices are high and food was honestly meh. Plus I found a long hair in one of my dishes. I got two drinks-- the Sunpop which was great, and the espresso martini which was as thick as Hersheys syrup and tasted...not good. read more

We are huge fans of The Little Lamb and have been going for years. Been wanting to check out the Estuary and it did not disappoint. Just as good as Little Lamb and a bit fancier location. The food is top notch and is a must try! Service is excellent as well. Go and try the entire menu. It will not disappoint! Did not get a picture of the salmon over risotto that was melt in your mouth delicious. read more

Amazing food! The ambience was great and I very much enjoyed my meal! I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching them make a variety of drinks.

It's been awhile since I've been motivated enough to leave a review. Estuary breaks the silence. A local friend gave me a heads up and my wife and I dined there the following evening. Everything meticulously made to order in a casual yet refined atmosphere. A few bar patrons were a little colorful on this evening, but didn't stay much past happy hour. That was the only could have been better. Service was wonderful and we were delighted by our appetizers and entrees. We'll definitely be back. I'll post some pictures so you can be jealous of our pork chop and beef entrees along with a twist on Tuna tartar and Caprese appetizers. Enjoy! read more

Tonight we are at the Estuary. Cocktails were perfect. I am very specific when ordering a martini and it was spot on. Appetizers we awesome. I had the oysters on the half shell. Wife had the crab beignets, Nat the roasted oysters. Main courses weee the Steak and frites, Red fish colcannon, house burger and the wagyu sirloin. All perfect tasty and memorable. Service was top notch and Christina was amazing. Will definitely be back. read more

the faroe salmon had no flavor and the sauce was a creamy mush. Also ,ordered the half chicken, which also had no flavor . Kentucky fried would have tasted better for a quarter of the price. The server wasn't much better than the food. He was always in such a hurry and in a fine dining restaurant, it would have been nice if he asked , how is everything. He was indifferent and could't care less. Will not be going back for quite awhile read more

First time at this restaurant and we will definitely be coming back. I had the avocado on sourdough, toped with a poached egg. Best avocado breakfast we have had, since moving to Florida. My wife jad the steak and eggs, and the steak was so tender, the home fries were out of this world! read more

Great food, wonderful service--was a fantastic night with NEW friends and neighbors. Certainly, will be back soon.

Everything went well, it was delicious indeed, you have to give it at and you'll see what I mean
